25-second, 16:9 cinematic 3D Pixar-style animation, ultra-detailed, warm golden-hour sunlight, shallow depth of field, tropical island beach hut setting with a thatched roof, bamboo railings, turquoise sea and green rock islands in the background, wooden table. CHARACTER LOCK: Yuuva – chubby toddler girl, huge dark brown eyes, rosy round cheeks, messy dark brown hair in a tiny top bun with a small white flower clip, cream leaf-trim sleeveless dress, small shell necklace. GRANDMA – elderly island woman, silver-grey hair in a bun, deep expressive wrinkles, big dark eyes, cream embroidered blouse, wooden bead bracelets, strict but loving. CRABBY – small bright orange cartoon crab with huge white googly eyes, big claws, expressive eyebrows. PROP: steamer basket with white fluffy steamed buns (baozi), wooden spoon, small plate. Same faces, outfits and style in every shot. 0–2s: Extreme close-up. Yuuva stuffs a white bun into her mouth, cheeks full, eyes darting sideways. Grandma sits blurred beside her, back half-turned. Bun basket in the foreground. 2–4s: Medium shot. Grandma turns and looks suspiciously at the basket. Yuuva, mouth full, innocently points her little finger off-screen at the crab. Crabby appears at the table edge. Yuuva (muffled, innocent): "Crabby!" 4–6s: Close-up. Crabby freezes, huge eyes wide with shock, claws raised slightly, looking worried and confused. 6–8s: Two-shot. Grandma squints sternly at Crabby, then at Yuuva, then back. Yuuva pretends to be innocent, puffing her cheeks. Grandma closes her eyes, takes a slow breath, and sighs. Grandma (stern): "Hmm… Crabby." 8–10s: Crabby on the table, looking angry and offended with furrowed eyebrows, claws out to the sides, shaking his head. Then a bun on a wooden spoon is held in front of him as Grandma gives him a "punishment". 10–12s: Close-up of Yuuva looking at the camera with a sneaky, shy smile, eyes sparkling. She grins and slightly raises her eyebrows. 12–14s: Close-up of Grandma, frowning intensely with her bun on the spoon. Side angle: she lowers the spoon to a plate in front of the sea. 14–16s: Low angle on the table. Yuuva rubs her little hands together, eyeing the bun with a greedy look. Crabby is at the side, defeated. 16–18s: Close-up. Yuuva sneakily bites the bun again while Crabby, beside her, holds the bun with his claws in a panic, eyes glancing sideways. 18–21s: Wide shot. Grandma sits with arms crossed, eyes closed, chin up, still grumpy. Yuuva and Crabby sit quietly beside her. Yuuva looks at Grandma, raises a finger as if making a point, then slowly offers her a bun with a sweet smile. Grandma peeks with one eye, melts, and smiles warmly. Yuuva (sweetly): "Sorry, Grandma…" 21–23s: Extreme close-up. Yuuva leans in and hugs Grandma's cheek, sticking out her tongue playfully at the camera with a cheeky look. Grandma's grey hair in the foreground. 23–25s: Final shot. Crabby alone on the table, claws raised high, angry-eyed, furious about being blamed. Hold on his grumpy face. End. AUDIO: gentle ukulele island music, soft ocean waves, seagull sounds, bun-biting and munching sounds, small claw clicks, baby giggles, Grandma's sigh.
